Post viewing activity writing a test
What would you do and how would you feel if there were no
running water at your homes for more than a week?
- It could be a real catastrophe if we hadnt running water for a
few days. But what should the people say who have not running water
at all and who spend lots of time to go and get some water, walking
long distances and waiting in long queues? Just think about it.
Unfortunately, we do not estimate the value of water and very often
we waste it in vain without even thinking. And our task is to
remember that we all need water to survive.

Making a project
The time has come to start understanding the value of water
before a world without clean water becomes a terrible reality.
Everything depends on us.
